1“,, ' MOB LAW RULES.
Reign of Terror in Indiana. Towns
Caused by Desperate Characters.

Versailles, Ind., Nov. 2.——Si.nce the
announcement that de. Mount has
abandoned hope of convicting members
of the mob which.lynched five men
here some time ago, the lawless ele-
ment is becoming vindictive.

The law is not enforced againstthe
perpetrators of the robberies, barn
burnings and highwaymen, and the
farmers are again becoming very rest-
less. An uprising similar to that which
swept Jackson County several years
ago may be the result.

A reign of terror exists near Ellwood,
Ind., owing to mysterious assaults
upon the family and home of Charles
Waymire, a prominent farmer. His
sons and daughters have been assault-
ed and his house bombarded at night
by bowlders and bullets.

 

Weyler Is Condemned.

Madrid,”Nov. 2.-——The papers here se-
verely condemn the remarks made by
ex-Capt.—Gen. Weyler in reply to a
deputation which visited him on board
the steamer Montserrat prior to his de-
parture from Havana for Spain. He
said that he did not heed the attacks
upon him, as they were an indication
of the success of his system, and ad-
vised the Conservative party in Cuba
not to be silenced, but to protest vig-
orously against the suicidal policy of
the new Spanish Government.

Drumming Up Mormons.

Helena, Mont., Nov. 2.—John Henry
Smith, ’one of the twelve apostles of
the Morman Church,-is in Montana for
the purpose of perfecting here the or-
ganization Of a church composed of
Montanians reared in the'faith.

There are about five hundred in the
State, it is believed, who can thus be
gathered together in the fold of latter
day saints. '

The words: that
Weight in ‘Norwalk Are
from Norwalk People.

' When anything that promises relief
is offered you, the first. thing you wish
to knowis if it. ever helped anyoneelse;
and the amount of faith you will have
in trying it. will depend upOn the relia-
bilit y of the testimony offered in its
behalf. When this is from remot
strangers, way beyond the reach of you“
consultation, doubts may remain; bu
when it comes from dismterested Nor-
walk people, whom you can consult at
any time, its reliability is apparent; its
truth not to be doubted. And the tes-
timony of Norwalk people, and of prom-
inent. people among them, is united in
declaring that California Catarrh Cure
cures catarrh, that it removes all traces
of this persistent and humiliating dis-
ease. Note the words Of a man you
know, you can believe: '

Mr. D. C. Croft, 11 East avenue, East
Norwalk, after suffering with catarrh
for years, tells of his relief as follows:
“I find that Califorma Catarrh Cure
has relieved me very much. It keeps
my head and throat much clearer than
they had been for a long time, and the
relief is wonderful. Anyone sufiering
from catarrh in any form will surely
find it an excellent remedy. It re-
lieves at once, and I believe the relief is
permanent.” .,

CatarI-h Cure, and prevent colds “hang-
ing on.” Sold by all dealers; 500,

POISON FOR HIS BENEFACTOR.

A Negro Tries to Kill the Family
That Had Been Educating Him.

Pittsburg, Nov. 2.—William E. Brown,
a 15-year—old mulatto, isxin jail here,
having confessed arson and an attempt
to poison the family of 0. R. Cook.

Mr. Cook, who is a lawyer, took the
boy out of the Washington County
Home a few months ago, intending to
educate him to 'be a champion of the
negro race. On Oct. 6 Mrs. Cook and
her brother, James McCloskey, were
taken sick atbreakfast, but they recov-
ered after two days’ suffering. They
thought moldy coffee caused the trou-
ble. _

Yesterday the house was set on fire
in two places, but the blaze was ex-
tinguished by McCloskey. The negro
boy wasarrested, and said he had put
rat poison in the coffee on Oct. 6 and
had set fire to the house Ibecause the
family would not allow him to go out
at night and play with other negroes.

Bonner Knocks Out Butler.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2.—Jack Bonner
knocked out Joe Butler in the second
round at the Arena last night. The
fight ended in a most unsatisfactory
waY. ,and in the opinion ofthe majority.
of’the spectators the decision should
have been given to Butler. '

In the first round, in less than twenty
seconds after the two men put their
hands. up, Butler caught IBonner on the
point of the jaw with a swing and sent
him down. Butler stood waiting for
him to get up, but Referee Crowhurst
interfered and allowed Bonner to re-
cover himself. The round dragged on
with Bonner clinching continuously to
save himself and still on queer street.
There has been bad Iblood between them
for some time, and another fight will
undoubtedly be the outcome.

 

Murdered in the Street.

New York, Nov. 2.-Giuseppe Pec-
carri, an Italian barber, 21 years old,
was shot and killed by a fellow coun~
tryman in Elizabeth street yesterday
afternoon. He had a quarrel with sev-
eral Italians, and ran from a store to
the street, When several pistol shots
were fired, and the young man stum—
bled and fen in the roadway. He got
up quickly and ran, pursued by one of
the men, to the opposite side of the
street, evidently intending to enter an
undertaker’s shop. ‘He had his hand on
the undertaker’s door knob when an—
other shot was fired lby the man behind
him. The second shot pierced his heart,
and, as the undertAker opened his door
to see what had happened, the man who
had been shot fell dead on the floor of
the shop. A bullet had pierced his
heart and another :had struck him in
the back. ’Several arrests have been
made.

enty-first street. The murder was com-
mitted in the basement of the house in
